Mitch Marner, who is on pace for a career-high in points, may be unable to play against the Flames after having missed two-straight practice sessions and is considered a game-time decision.

Though a game time decision for his @MapleLeafs meeting with the Flames tonight, Mitch Marner has been enjoying a career season as he owns 70 points thus far in 2024-25. Getting there via 1 goal and 1 assist on Saturday vs EDM, he tied for the 4th fewest games to the mark on here

Head coach Craig Berube said that Marner suffered an undisclosed ailment during Toronto’s win over the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday, via X.

“Something happened during the (Edmonton) game, I guess. He’s just not feeling right in a certain area, so we’re just trying to work on it, just trying to get him ready.”

Former captain John Tavares labeled Marner as Toronto’s top player and said that the entire team will need to step up in his potential absence, via Maple Leafs Hot Stove.

“He has been our best player all year,” Tavares said. “He does everything, right? It is not just going to be one guy who is going to be able to do that. We are going to need a group of guys to step up and pick up the slack.”

“He has been our best player all year, and he plays a full 200-foot game.”

If Marner is unable to play, it will be the first game all season that he’s been unavailable. With or without Marner, the Leafs and Flames are scheduled to get underway starting at 9:00 PM EST.
